>>>My therapy today was about the various dangers in opening yourself to people, and how much easier it would feel to turn inward rather than outward.
<<<Oh Dinah, You have no idea how much I'm struggling with this. I told my Therapist on Thursday that "I give up." I don't understand what I need, so how can I ever hope to get it from anyone else, even him. I'm even floating balloons about cutting back on therapy, I want to pull in and in and in.
So, please tell me about the discussion, if you can. It IS dangerous reaching out, so why do it? What is this need that makes me try every so often? The result is always the same. I'm still alone but I feel worse having it validated yet again that "I" don't really matter...what I accomplish (working, cooking, etc.) matters to people. But how I'm feeling? They don't want to really know. They just want it to be "fine."
